Use This IKEA Hack to Spruce Up Your Plant Shelfie

Raise your hand if plants and flowers just make you a happier person - that’s me!! Indoor plants are so important to me because their colors and smell transport me to a magical land - the land where the sun is always beaming and huge banana leaves brush my face. Today we’re focusing on small upgrades to make your plant *shelfie* a tad bit cuter. We used an IKEA table runner to create cute little baskets to go over the plastic plant container. This IKEA hack is so simple, and one table runner will make at least five baskets. Follow the GIF below to create your own :)

Materials and Tools:

IKEA table runner

hot glue gun

measuring tape

pen

fabric scissors

Instructions:

1-Measure the circumference and height of your planter.

2-Cut out a rectangle that measures half of the circumference + 1 inch, by the height of the pot multiplied by 3 inches.

3-With the good sides facing inward, hot glue the open edge closed to create a cylinder.

4-Fold the bottom edge up and then hot glue to folds to create a base.

5-Turn right side out and fold down the top to make a cuffed edge.

With a quick measurement of your planter, you can easily create a decorative slip for all of the greenery in your home. Use a hot glue gun to attach the fabric together and then roll down the top edge for added flair.

We got five baskets plus a small table mat out of this one IKEA table runner.

Your plants will be so excited for the upgrade.

Can you spot the ceramic cacti? Guess what - those are also from IKEA! We are obsessed and are certain we won’t kill them :)

Located in the majestic town of Newport Beach, California, this single family urban cottage has everything you could dream of… including a seaside location!
The cottage was completed in May of 2015 by one of the top builders in California, Patterson Custom Homes, and architect Brandon Architects, Inc. Featuring casual transitional coastal interiors with a fresh hint of color, this urban cottage is not only a perfect place to live but also something to be inspired by.
I’m sharing many details with you in this post. So make sure to take notes on paint colors, lighting, backsplash, countertops, tiling, decor and more. I hope you have a great time!Urban Cottage with Transitional Coastal Interiors

In 1944, inspired by Chinese chairs from the Ming Dynasty, Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner designed the Wishbone Chair, his most successful design of all time. To this day, the Carl Hansen & Son factory continues to produce the chair with it’s iconic Y shaped wooden back and frame and hand woven paper cord seating. Did you know it takes 400 feet of paper cord to construct the seat, which is meant to last at least 50 years of wear? I’m crushing hard on these timeless chairs – especially the ones with the natural wood frames.
